HAYUN'S POV :

How did she know?

Who told her?

The thought laid in my head as I felt my eyes stinging from holding back tears. Pushing my way through the students in the corridor.

I ran up the stairs to the rooftop of the school.

The wind covered me like a blanket, as my hair blew like crazy, I walked over to a corner and sat there.

And I began to cry

Who would've told Yujin about my dad? I wasn't upset about anything else but that. I've only told the three people I've trusted with my whole life, they couldn't have said anything, right?

I recalled the moment of walking out of the classroom, all of my friends were scrambling around trying to find me. Yet none of them have.

I put my knees up to my face as I continued to cry

I don't know how long for.

Then I heard footsteps approach me, and someone lifted my chin up to look at them

Yang Jungwon

He crouched down, silently wiping my tears off my face. As I sniffled quietly.

He then sat next to me, close.

"..how did- she know?" He softly asked me and I shrugged, wishing I knew too

"I have no idea" I chuckled, trying to sound more happy about the situation

"Now everyone's gonna know.. and they'll find out about us living together eventually- and I don't want people to be mean to you, or to start any rumo-" I rambled on until he interrupted me

"What's the harm in people knowing? I'll be fine Hayun, it's you that matters because I know you'll get the most backlash for it."

"Yeah bu-"

"We can tell everyone if you want. As long as you're comfortable with it of course" he said to me, looking into my eyes with care and concern

"I mean.. it's best that people know, before more rumours spring up about me" I sniffled and he nodded

Jungwon then put his arm around my shoulder, I froze at first but just leaned my head onto his shoulder as he patted my left arm for comfort

I then felt his head lean ontop of mine, and we sat there in silence with the wind blowing our hair

After I don't know how long, Jungwon moved himself off of me and helped me up. Both of us were awkwardly staring at each other after our close encounter.

"Should we go back now? I think 3rd class is about to start." Jungwon suggested, holding his hand out for me to hold and he took me down the stairs

We just missed the bustle of everyone going back into their classes and just a few remained but didn't seem to be bothered by us
